Product Description:

Tangelo, termed "web publishing with a twist,"Â? is a departure from most traditional weblog publishing tools. Instead of installing or using weblog software on an Internet web server, Tangelo is installed on the user's computer as a standalone application, providing much easier installation, greater weblog control, and ease of use. Tangelo streamlines organization of weblog text and images, and publishes the weblog to both an Internet web server and to the user's own computer for better control and backup. In addition, Tangelo features integration with NetNewsWire 2.0 for posting RSS news items.

What's new in this version:

Tangelo 1.5 Public Beta includes a newly redesigned interface, a completely new publishing engine, a brand new website "skinning" system, and improved support for publishing podcasts.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.4 PPC
  • Mac OS X 10.3.9

Additional Requirements:

  • Mac OS X 10.3.9 or higher
  • QuickTime 7 or higher.

Tangelo CommentaryHiram's W3C non-compliance comment - Version: 1.5 Public Beta 2, 8/11/2006 05:06AM PST

Benoit Evans
Hiram's W3C non-compliance comment is a bit unfair. Read the replies to Hiram's message and you will see that Tangelo is not really at fault.

I ran my own Tangelo site through the W3C validator and it returned 36 occurences of 20 discrete errors. NONE of them were directly related to Tangelo's template and page creation routines. Some were my fault: I did not add a text ALT attribute to images, but then I really don't expect my readers to use a text only browser and I have only a few images, mostly the site logo, rrs icons and that sort of thing. Almost all of the other errors were link names that W3C's validator did not like. Those are links to articles on other sites and are the EXACT names as provided by the other site. You can't blame Tangelo for the errors made by somebody on an external site.

I have been using Tangelo for about 6 months and think it is great. The proof of the pudding is its taste--not its ingredients or cooking method (or its un analysed W3C validator score). My site is a simple news site, but take a look and you will see that it displays properly on both Safari and Explorer. http://www.qalam.ca

Tangelo CommentaryDeveloper's own Tangelo-powered site is full of HTML errors - Version: 1.5b5, 8/2/2006 04:46AM PST

I checked the code on the developer's own, Tangelo-powered site, and W3C's validator found no less than 45 errors. This made me decide not to download the application. I use Textpattern myself. It's server-based, which for some that might be a disadvantage, but it does produce valid XHTML. And it's free.

Tangelo ReviewGreat software, great developer, great experience! - Version: 1.5b5, 8/2/2006 03:45AM PST

I have used Tangelo for a while now and have had nothing but a good experience from it. The level of support that is provided by Mr. Rhine is absolutely amazing, problems are handled as if I were a very large company. (Though none of those problems were show stoppers for me). The software does exactly what it is supposed to do, the only suprises are positives, how easy it is to use, the cleaness of the display, the purity of the end product.

Six thumbs up for this efficent, pretty piece of software.
